A Beautiful dusk saw us ride up a hillock to reach the Trikkur Mahadeva Temple.. Abode of Lord Siva popularly called the Thrikkur Appan.
On most days its visited only by locals ensuring you have deep and silent communion with the Lord . The lord is famed to cure breathing diseases...
Steeped in antiquity temple dates back to the 7th -8th century ..
It is cut out of rocks with the sanctum inside a natural cave... being at an altitude it offers breathtaking views of the surrounding hamlets steeped in green.

A trip to this temple , I await, for its a good ride away from home and the drive up the hillock is a sublime experience. The chance to be in front of the Lord , un-rushed is priceless. The beauty of the temple itself is astounding as it nestles among the rocks .. the rocks around the temple could be climbed and there an inscription of a chess board on the rock with a folk lore that suggests Siva and Parvati were once playing when a disturbance caused them to retreat to the cave below , staying there for ever....
And that dusk was rendered special with the painted skies., fading light , the surroundings slowly preparing for night fall, the sanctum lit by lamps and the Serene Lord ...
